Are you a girl with a Star-Spangled heart? Join the WAC now!
WAC recruiting poster: a uniformed woman in front of a large U.S. flag, with the headline 'Are you a girl with a Star-Spangled heart?' and 'Join the WAC now!' The flag is placed behind the recruit to carry patriotic feeling onto enlistment (transfer), and 'star-spangled heart' is a virtue phrase (glittering generality).
